Tripushkar Yoga: A coincidence of the weekday (Sun, Tue or Sat), a Bhadra tithi (2, 7 or 12) and a “tripada” nakshatra (Krittika, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada). The result of whatever is begun repeats three times: good for purchases and investments, bad for losses, loans, surgery and funerals.

Samvatsara and month

Kalayukta (No. 52, “joined with Time (Kala)”) — A hard year: illness, losses and fear of change. more

Northern samvatsara: Pramoda. Shaka Samvat 1900, Vikram Samvat 2035, Kali Yuga 5079.

Vaishakha (Madhava) — The best month for early-morning holy baths, dana and the worship of Vishnu: Akshaya Tritiya, Narasimha Jayanti, Buddha Purnima. more

Jyeshtha (Shukra) — The hottest month, a time to honour water and the Ganga: Ganga Dussehra, Nirjala Ekadashi, Vat Purnima. more

Amanta — reckoning lunar months from new moon to new moon (South and West India; this calendar shows months this way). Purnimanta — reckoning from full moon to full moon (North India): the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha) bears the same name in both systems, while the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in purnimanta already belongs to the next month. So, for example, Krishna Janmashtami is “Shravana, Krishna 8” in amanta and “Bhadrapada, Krishna 8” in purnimanta: it is one and the same day.

Times are standard time UTC+3 (from the site settings, without daylight saving time) · panchanga at sunrise (upper limb of the Sun’s disc, with refraction) · ayanamsa Lahiri · place 55°45′ N 37°35′ E · festival dates are calculated for this location by the rules of kala vyapti · times of Sankranti are accurate to within a few minutes

Festivals and periods

Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Revati (until 18:36) — increase in property; Ashwini (from 18:36) — joy; Thursday — success.

Cautions:

Ekadashi: by custom, those who fast on this day do not cut their hair or shave.
Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Haircut and shaving

Cutting hair, shaving: no suitable window — see the prohibitions below

Windows are the best daytime hours according to the site’s summary rating, excluding the times of the day’s prohibitions (see below).

Cutting hair, shaving	no suitable window — see the prohibitions below
Cutting fingernails, cutting toenails	no suitable window — see the prohibitions below
Bathing, washing hair	bad throughout the daytime

Haircut factors: weekday Sunday; nakshatra Krittika; tithi Krishna-chaturdashi until 20:16, Amavasya from 20:16; lagna Vrishabha 03:50, Mithuna 04:36, Karka 07:01, Simha 10:00, Kanya 13:00, Tula 16:01, Vrischika 19:02

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Krittika — consumption (a wasting disease); Sunday — physical well-being.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Krishna-chaturdashi 03:50–20:16: a Rikta and Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani and the Kalaprakashika).
Amavasya 20:16–21:05: a Parva tithi — haircuts and shaving are postponed (according to the Muhurta Chintamani).

Cautions:

The Muhurta Chintamani warns: whoever shaves in Krittika nakshatra 6 times a year puts their life in danger — frequent haircuts in this nakshatra are best avoided.
Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Haircut and shaving

Cutting hair, shaving	good 15:46–17:51
Cutting fingernails	average throughout the daytime
Cutting toenails	good 15:46–17:51
Bathing, washing hair	good 03:44–08:49, 11:50–20:36

Haircut factors: weekday Thursday; nakshatra Purva-Ashadha until 08:38, Uttara-Ashadha from 08:38; tithi Krishna-dvitya until 15:46, Krishna-tritya from 15:46; lagna Mithuna 03:44, Karka 05:51, Simha 08:49, Kanya 11:50, Tula 14:50, Vrischika 17:51, Dhanu 20:36

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Ashadha (until 08:38) — ruin of the family; Uttara-Ashadha (from 08:38) — improved health; Thursday — success.

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).

Haircut factors: weekday Monday; nakshatra Purva-Bhadra; tithi Krishna-shashti until 04:22, Krishna-saptami from 04:22; lagna Mithuna 03:46, Karka 05:35, Simha 08:33, Kanya 11:34, Tula 14:34, Vrischika 17:35, Dhanu 20:20

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Purva-Bhadra — facing death (dangers); Monday — clear, bright complexion.

Prohibitions of the day — their times are excluded from the windows for haircuts, shaving and nail cutting:

Bhadra on earth 04:22–15:38: no shaving or haircuts during Vishti Karana (according to the Muhurta Chintamani, Bhadra does harm when it is on earth; in heaven and in the netherworld its influence on earth is weak).

Cautions:

Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).
Monday: according to the Kalaprakashika, it is good for a haircut only during the waxing Moon.

Effects of a haircut according to the Kalaprakashika: Bharani — facing death (dangers); Friday — universal respect.

Cautions:

Ekadashi: by custom, those who fast on this day do not cut their hair or shave.
Krishna Paksha: according to the Kalaprakashika, a haircut during the waning Moon affects life (longevity) and fortune, but the first five tithis of Krishna Paksha are favourable; hair grows thicker if cut during the waxing Moon (M. V. Ramakrishnan, as quoted by B. V. Raman).
Friday: B. V. Raman advises against cutting nails (the rating above is the site’s summary, which uses the same weekdays for nails as for haircuts, so Friday counts as auspicious).

Vaishakha (Vedic name Madhava) — The best month for early-morning holy baths, dana and the worship of Vishnu: Akshaya Tritiya, Narasimha Jayanti, Buddha Purnima.
Patron: Madhusudana; Aditya — Aryaman. Full moon in nakshatra Vishakha. Ritu: Vasanta.

Amanta and purnimanta
Amanta — reckoning lunar months from new moon to new moon (South and West India; this calendar shows months this way). Purnimanta — reckoning from full moon to full moon (North India): the bright half of the month (Shukla Paksha) bears the same name in both systems, while the dark half (Krishna Paksha) in purnimanta already belongs to the next month. So, for example, Krishna Janmashtami is “Shravana, Krishna 8” in amanta and “Bhadrapada, Krishna 8” in purnimanta: it is one and the same day.

Kalayukta (No. 52 of 60, “joined with Time (Kala)”) — A hard year: illness, losses and fear of change.
Northern samvatsara: Pramoda (No. 4)
Shaka Samvat 1900 · Vikram Samvat 2035 · Kali Yuga 5079
Next year — Siddharthi, from the new moon before Ugadi (the start of Chaitra) 28.03.1979
In South India (Shaka Samvat, lunar reckoning) the years of the 60-year cycle follow one another without a break, and the name of the year changes at Ugadi — at the start of Chaitra, on the first tithi of the bright half.

Krishna-ekadashi (11, waning Moon)
Group: Nanda. Deity: Rudra.
The ruler of the eleventh day of the waning Moon is Rudra, which is favorable for fasting and religious (spiritual) activities. Remembering the Supreme Deity will give especially positive results.

Revati (27)
Meaning: Rich, prosperous
Symbol: Fish (sometimes a couple) or drum
Deity: Pushan (Prosperous)
Type: soft (mridu, maitra) — For arts and music, friendship and love, new clothes and jewellery, weddings and festivals.
Vimshottari lord: Mercury
Shakti: nourish (satiate at the expense of its abundance)

Ayushman (3) — “long-lived”
Auspicious: health and healing, long-term matters and anything meant to last a long time.
A nitya yoga is one of the 27 segments of the sum of the sidereal longitudes of the Sun and the Moon (each spanning 13 degrees 20 minutes of arc). Nine yogas are inauspicious: Vishkambha, Atiganda, Shula, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Parigha and especially Vyatipata and Vaidhriti; the rest are auspicious.

Bava (movable)
Deity: Indra
Auspicious: good for any benevolent and lasting work, building up health and strength, undertakings meant to grow.
A karana is half a tithi; there are 60 of them in a lunar month.

Guru vara — Jupiter Day
Lord: Jupiter
The time of Jupiter's action is considered the most favorable for all worldly and spiritual affairs not related to coercion or anger. You can begin spiritual practices, good deeds, study of philosophy, Doctrine, various sciences.

Dawn
Start of morning civil twilight: the Sun is 6° below the horizon and the sky grows light.

Sunrise
Appearance of the upper limb of the solar disc, with refraction. The Vedic day and the vara begin at sunrise.

Noon

Gardener’s calendar
Garden tasks are rated as in the site’s “Lunar calendar for gardeners” section: the weekday, nakshatra and tithi are taken into account; starting from a base score of 3, each factor adds one point if favourable or subtracts one if unfavourable; total score 0–6: 0–2 — bad, 3–4 — average, 5–6 — good. The table shows the rating at sunrise and after each change of nakshatra or tithi during the daytime (“from HH:MM”); the icons next to the sunrise rating show the contribution of the weekday, nakshatra and tithi at sunrise: “+” (green) adds one point, “0” (yellow) has no effect, “–” (red) subtracts one.

The ratings are the site author’s summary of the Indian and Tibetan traditions. Classical texts on agriculture: the Kalaprakashika (ch. XIX–XX, English translation by N. P. Subramania Iyer, 1917), B. V. Raman’s Muhurtha (ch. XIII), the Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira (ch. 55).

Anandadi: Mitra — “friend”
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga
The yoga of “accomplishing all aims”: an auspicious combination of weekday and nakshatra (each day has its own 3–7 nakshatras). Good for any new undertaking; exceptions: Thu + Pushya is not used for weddings, Tue + Ashwini for housewarmings, Sat + Rohini for travel.

Anandadi: Manasa — “thought”
One of the 28 yogas formed jointly by the weekday and the Moon’s nakshatra (counting Abhijit): from the starting nakshatra of the day (Sun — Ashwini, Mon — Mrigashirsha, Tue — Ashlesha, Wed — Hasta, Thu — Anuradha, Fri — Uttara Ashadha, Sat — Shatabhisha) the cycle runs Ananda, Kaladanda, Dhumra and so on. Auspicious yogas support the day’s affairs; inauspicious ones (especially Utpata, Mrityu and Kana) weaken them.

Roga Panchaka
Began on a Sunday: the “illness” Panchaka — people guard their health and do not start medical treatment or journeys.
The Moon in Kumbha or Mina (from the middle of Dhanishtha to the end of Revati). During these five nakshatras people do not travel south, gather firewood or grass, lay a roof or build a bed; cremation is performed with a special rite.

Gandanta
The knotted junction of “water” and “fire”: the last pada of Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati and the first pada of Magha, Mula and Ashwini (as well as the tithi junctions of the 5th and 6th, the 10th and 11th, the 15th and 1st). Unfavourable for new undertakings.

Gandamula
The Moon in Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula or Revati — the nakshatras at the junctions of signs. For those born in them, tradition prescribes a pacifying rite; new undertakings call for caution.

Brahma Muhurta
The penultimate, 14th muhurta of the night: it begins about an hour and a half before sunrise and lasts about 48 minutes. The best time for meditation, prayer, japa and study.

Abhijit Muhurta
The 8th of the 15 daytime muhurtas, around true noon (about 48 minutes). The “invincible” time, suitable for almost any new undertaking — except on Wednesdays.

Vijaya Muhurta
The 11th daytime muhurta, the “time of victory”: good for journeys, contests and decisive action; the main time of Vijayadashami.

Godhuli
“Dust from the hooves” — about 24 minutes right after sunset, when the cows return from pasture. An auspicious time for weddings and evening rites.

Pradosha
The first fifth of the night after sunset (three night muhurtas, about 2.5 hours). The time for worshipping Shiva, lighting the Diwali diyas and performing Holika Dahan.

Nishitha
Midnight — the 8th muhurta of the night. The decisive time for Maha Shivaratri, Krishna Janmashtami and Kali Puja.

Amrita Kalam
“Time of nectar” — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra, favourable for any new undertaking and mitigating inauspicious factors.

Rahu Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Rahu (a different segment for each weekday). No new work, journeys or deals are started; whatever was begun earlier may be continued.

How it is calculated: following the South Indian tradition (Tamil Nadu, Kerala), as Drik Panchang does — the daytime from sunrise to sunset (upper limb of the disc, with refraction) is divided into 8 parts, and Rahu Kalam is part 6 (Mon 2, Sat 3, Fri 4, Wed 5, Thu 6, Tue 7, Sun 8).
Another tradition — Kala Vela: the eighth parts of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order starting from the lord of the day, while the eighth part, the last before sunset, is “empty”, without a lord; in this tradition it is given to Rahu — today {y} (on Sundays it coincides with the calculation above).
Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 13:30–15:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 13:59–15:29 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.

Yamaganda
One-eighth of the daytime associated with Yama: unfavourable for new undertakings and journeys.

How it is calculated: the eighths of the daytime belong to the planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day; Yamaganda (Yamaghantaka) is Jupiter’s portion, today part 1. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 06:00–07:30.

Gulika Kalam
One-eighth of the daytime ruled by Gulika (the son of Saturn). Whatever is begun at this time tends to repeat, so funerals are not held and loans are not taken during Gulika; important new undertakings are usually avoided.

How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 3. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 09:00–10:30. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.

Dur Muhurta
An inauspicious muhurta (about 48 minutes) — one or two per day, specific to each weekday. It is avoided for new undertakings, journeys and deals.

Varjyam
“Rejected” time — about an hour and a half within each nakshatra (4 ghatis of 60, starting from a ghati specific to that nakshatra). Unfavourable for new undertakings.

Yet another tradition — printed panchangas: a nominal day of 6:00–18:00, so Rahu Kalam always falls at the same clock time — today 16:30–18:00; if the nominal 6:00–18:00 day is counted in local mean time — 16:59–18:29 by the clock. Far from India this is a rough approximation.
Using the rising and setting of the centre of the disc without refraction (old Siddhantic panchangas): {x}.
At night Rahu Kalam is usually not reckoned (the translator of the Kalaprakashika, 1917: “it occurs only in the daytime”); a few divide the night into 8 parts as well, but there is no generally accepted order of the night parts. In North India, Choghadiya is more often consulted to choose the hour.

How it is calculated: Saturn’s portion among the eighths of the daytime (planets in weekday order, starting from the lord of the day), today part 7. According to the printed tables (nominal day 6:00–18:00) — 15:00–16:30. According to a note by the translator of the Kalaprakashika, Gulika is not considered inauspicious: it is even good for reaping, gathering grain, trade, medical treatment, repaying debts and a number of other activities; the view that whatever is begun during Gulika will repeat itself is a popular (mainly Tamil) belief.
